Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks91
- Forgiveness89
- Distance87
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You want the most stable head in the range and you putt straight back and through.
You want feedback through the hands, or a soft, quiet strike.
Pros
- The steadiest head of the GT generation, with weight massed deep behind the face
- Four necks were sold, including armlock and centre-shaft builds
- An arrow cut to the width of the ball, which shows the stroke a path
- Long putts finish closer than the effort you put in suggests
Cons
- Firm enough that a good strike and a poor one feel much alike
- A brighter, more metallic note than its stablemates
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentNearly half the weight sits in a steel ring at the back, and the face holds square better than anything else here.
Distance
ExcellentLong putts finished noticeably closer in testing, which is what a head this stable is for.
Workability
ModestThree of its four necks are face-balanced and the fourth barely hangs, so there is no release to use.
Feel
ExcellentFirm to the point that every strike feels much the same, which costs it information.
Sound
ExcellentA brighter, more metallic note than the rest of the range, and not everyone will want it.
Looks at address
Class-leadingA pale wedge sized to the ball sits on the crown, laying out the line the stroke should take.
